Does anyone know of any companies/people that develop widgets for a PC?
By 'widget', I mean something similar to the Mac program 'Dashboard" that has various widgets.
Ultimately, I'm looking to have developed various standalone widgets for PC-use only.

Most of the widgets you see on the net require installation of a widget engine - like the yahoo widgets engine which have a crazy big download size. (Vista has a gadget bar like the Mac, but not mainstream yet)
For something requiring no installation you're best finding a flash developer who has used Zinc or Mprojector and you'll be able to get yourself a ~250K exe.

So how much would you expect to pay for someone to build you a custom widget?

(Jun 11 07, 14:19)It's a very unspecified question. I do widgets, but custom ones. Meaning, online marketing, full blown flash applications that cater to a specific market segment and have the ability to phone home while exchanging information to keep the widget updated constantly with fresh information, advertisements etc.
So asking how much to make one is impossible to answer. What exactly do you need? What type of functionality? and then you can start talking budgets.
Cheers.
